Reviews of Redoubt Fort in Harwich
Redoubt Fort venue information
Built between 1807 & 1809, Harwich Redoubt is a circular fort approx 200ft in diameter it was built on the same design as Dymchurch and Eastbourne, the fort was reputedly built by French Prisoners of war
Originally armed with ten 24-pounder cannon’s, the Redoubt was remodelled in order to accommodate increasingly heavy guns, as technology and the perceived threat changed. In 1861-2, work was carried out to accommodate 68-pounder cannon’s and the emplacements were strengthened to withstand improved enemy artillery. Only a decade later in 1872, three of the emplacements were altered to take enormous 12 ton RML (Rifled Muzzle Loading) guns. In 1903, three emplacements received 12 pounder QF (quick firing) guns
